This is an IHeart podcast.

All right,

Welcome at Lake Kick is live.

It is Tuesday night. That's right, Tuesday night. Yes, September 2, September 1st. The year of our Lord, 2020. We have, sure enough, shifted to three live shows per week. Not a week too soon, by the way, a really, really busy Tuesday. So we got so much to get to jam-packed, as always. That's in the name of the game around here. I am Josh Pate.

This is the late kick. We are happy to have you with us. If you haven't already, subscribe to the 24-7 sports YouTube channel. If you're watching, that's where you are already. Just click that button. It's free. We have done some great traffic, especially over the last couple of weeks on this show. So right off the bat, whether you're listening

on the podcast, whether you're watching on the YouTube channel, thank you so much for that.

You are doing more work than you realize. I want to kind of leave it at that. You're doing a lot more

work than you realize when you subscribe to the channel and when you give us those five-star reviews

and when you just give us traction

because I think a lot of you have noticed and you have said as much in the comment section and

email and on Twitter a lot of you have kind of noticed a large swath of our industry the college

football media industry has chosen a route that's on them that's up to them that's their choice

we on this show,

Latekick and the entire Lake Kick brand, along with 24-7 sports, we have kind of chosen to go a

different route. It's the route that I think you want us to go. And a lot of you have responded in

kind and you've given us a lot of support. I mean, this is a product that we just got off the ground

a few months ago here. The Barton and Bud podcast is a product that at 24-7 just got off the ground a few months ago, and both are already making a lot of noise. And that's not because of us. It's because of you. We couldn't exist without you. So what I'm telling you is, if you like what we're doing here, continue to support because

it's not just us looking at it.

It's people in really high-ranking decision-making positions that see it.

So thank you so much.

Tonight we are talking about the day that was in the Big Ten.

We just spoke 48 hours ago, guys, and already it seems like the world has turned over four or five more times in the Big Ten.
